The Zoo

This time of year is always busy, but we were well overdue for a family trip out together. So off we went to Taronga Zoo last weekend. We don't often get into the city, so it's always an exciting adventure driving in and seeing the beautiful harbour and tall buildings of Sydney.
 
 
 
While we've been to other zoos before, this was the first time we've taken the kids to Taronga. And it didn't disappoint! We had a fantastic day together, with so much to see. Our favourites included the lions, tigers, elephants and giraffes. Luke loved the reptiles (the girls weren't such fans!) and Sarah the penguins.
